Osi Done For The Year

Either they get Strahan back or pickup one of our cut players, that could include Chris Wilson (I hope not).

Yeah I thought about that. I have no clue how yalls depth at LB is but I'm pretty sure I heard in the last few weeks about Goff and Chase Blackburn being dinged up.

Kiwanuka at DE could work I guess.

I dont see Strahan coming back though and if he decides to, more power to him. He's out of shape at this point I would say, at least out of playing shape. They're hoping that Wynn will step up.

Bottom line-Giants are fucked. Their D lives and dies with the pass rush.

I'm with you...it's nice not having to deal with him, the only thing that stinks about this is:

1. I don't like seeing anybody get hurt.
2. He was on my fantasy team.
3. The Giant fans (at least the ones I know) were really cool last year during the whole Sean Taylor situation so I hate seeing something bad happen to them.

I don't really understand why you guys let Kiwanuka get away. He had a very solid year for you, and the Bills didn't give him a ridiculous contract. You should have resigned him.

I would rather beat a team w/their best players, and I wish all the players could stay as healthy as players in other sports, but that's not the way it is.

I thought the g-men would struggle this year before this happened, now it looks even more like they're on course for a tough year. They do have good depth w/Kiawanuka & Tuck at DE, those guys are much better than most teams' starting DEs, but Osi is probably their MVP. Huge loss for them, but based on last night's game, they're still good enough to beat us in 11 days.

They lost Osi, Gibril Wilson, Kiwanuka, Torbor, Strahan, Schockey, they won't pay Plaxico...

Plus they're in the New York media circus... I could see them having a very average year. And that's fine.

Wait a minute, Kiwanuka still plays for the Giants.

You guys are talking about Kawika Mitchell. He's a linebacker.

That was Kiwaku (sp?) Mitchell. I used to get them confused all the time, as well. I was talking about Mathias Kiwanuka. He was drafted last year (or the year before) as a DE. Last season, they moved him to OLB.

Jason Taylor has a sprained knee. He will only be out 10-14 days.

Bad deal for the Giants. We're lucky that Jason Taylor isn't in the same situation. As much as I dislike the rest of the NFC east I wish him a full recovery.
